SHRUBS AND GROUNDCOVERSA selection of ornamental hardy shrub and groundcovering plants selected for seasonal interest, foliage texture and drought tolerance. Use of seasonal flowers in key areas such as town entry as highlight, complemented by a variety of textures and colours. intention to create bold mass plantings with layered textural composition.
STREET TREESA variety of deciduous and evergreen street trees, selected to suit locations and available space within streetscape environment. Overall design intent is to create streets with shade, seasonal inetrest and use of a consistent boulavard species
BAIR STREETUse of large-growing evergreen trees where space permits provides a structure and year-round foliage within the streetscape. Medium-sized deciduous trees with seasonal colour provide a consistent boulevard effecta and ability for these trees to be positioned beneath powerlines.
Camellia sasanqua ‘Setsugekka’
Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’ ORNAMENTAL PEAR (deciduous) 9m height x 5m spread
HYLAND PLACESuitable for use in urban environments with limited space, Ornamental Pears are a hardy street trees with lush green foliage in summer, attractive white -flowering in spring and striking autumnal colours.
Pyrus calleryana ‘Capital’ CAPITAL PEAR (deciduous) 7m height x 1.5m spread
GOLLERS LANESimilar in appearance and seasonal leaf change to the trees used in Hyland Place, yet a more upright variety, the design intent is to continue the aesthetic of Hyland Place yet allowing for planting close to the walls within the narrow lane-way spaces
Tristaniopsis laurina‘ Luscious’ KANOOKA / WATER GUM (evergreen) 8m height x 4m spread
LYON STREETMedium-sized Kanooka trees are proposed to offset the predominantly deciduous trees used in adjacent streets. Suitable for narrow streets with limited space, they can be successfully inserted into tight spaces and lower branches pruned to allow pedestrian and vehicle movement within the streetscape.
CHURCH STREETGiven the location of powerlines within Church Street, a small-medium street tree is required. Crepe Myrtles provide striking flowering colour to enliven the streetscape and ultimately would continue along the length of Church Street to create a uniform streetscape.
Zelkova serrata ‘schmidtlow wireless’ ZELKOVA(deciduous) 7m height x 9m spread
LARDNER PLACEContinuation of Kanooka along the northern edge of Lardner Place would create a consistency and connection to Lyon Street where available planting space is limited. Planting of Zelkova trees would define the new plaza space and allow light into gathering areas during winter months.
HORTICULTURAL PARKSpace permits within the park area to use large and wide-spreading magnificent tree species. A combination of deciduous and evergreen oaks + elms are proposed, including a native species proposed for the areas to the south and intended to continue along the rail trail area. Use of these large stately trees at the termination of views along Bair Street, and in particular careful placement of additional Algerian evergreen oaks provides a strong green backdrop to the urban streetscape environment
